I have a prediction. The sun will not run out in our lifetime and will keep on shining. Oil might be a problem, and become scarce
If you’re wrong about the sun, no one will be saying much.
Elon’s working on it…
And it’s hard to mine oil on top of almost any building while it’s rather easy to collect solar on almost any rooftop. This decentralizes the grid which is good for disaster recovery and national security.
Bad for profits though. The sun is too free. How are they supposed to make money on this?
They know. Margins on oil are bigger. When oil price goes up, charge customers more immediately and slowly lower them is a classic for a reason. But when you build a solar park, someone invents cheaper panels.
Luckily they’re not the only people in the energy sector.
Don’t let the capitalists see this, might give them a heart attack
They could put a mirror in orbit and charge for nighttime solar.
We do not need anymore sunlight until we figure out how to fix global warming. Personally I’m in the put benign pollutants into the upper atmosphere and make everywhere have forever British weather camp.
Having a coal mine on my roof also doesn’t really work
One day, all of elon musks starlink satellites will open up their secret space sails and block out the sun for the benefit of the oil industry. /s
Honestly wouldnt even surprise me at this point. Seems orchestrating global disasters are his business now
